Hi! New follower and fellow nail artist here! I absolutely love your videos. I do recommend not reusing your monomer again and again from the same jar. It will get dirty and potentially ruin future sets. If it gets dirty you’ll have to dump it and waste product. I do love the idea of keeping monomer in an airtight mason jar though but suggest using a regular dappen dish for a fresh set. Sending love from Miami! 💅🏼💕

I've been doing nails a little over 20 years now, and honestly if you know what you are doing and comfortable doing it there NO difference in the brushes! 💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤

My WiFi isn’t working so I’m watching on my bfs phone bc I can’t miss a video! -heyyyitsaubrie

Im not sure if you notice but them bibs are good for keeping spills but they don’t clean the brush good so if you notice that acrylic is sticking to bristles it’s probably the bibs they don’t work good for cleaning the brush very good atleast in my opinion

I hope you never stop making videos! You’re my FAVORITE content creator ❤ beautiful nails as always

Hey Anne, I must say, every time I see pink and blue ombré, it’s adorable. They are the best colors together when they make the purple in the middle. So beautiful. I have that Pana brush without the Pana name and I swear it’s the exact same brush. I love it and am sure Pana bought these brushes and stenciled their name on them. $6.00 AUD, which is about $4.00 USD. Such a rip off I think. Great job and for doing nails for 1 yr, you rock ❤️🇦🇺

I never thought that I would be watching a nail video excited to see the results! Thank you so much. For creating such quality content

These nails are beautiful! The sun lit shot is ethereal 💫 ❤

Omg those nails are absolutely gorgeous❤😍 that sparkle and colour shift is amazing!

I think the glitter powder you make is prettier than most glitter nail polishes!!! Gorgeous set🥰😍💗💙

OMG BABE UR SO CLOSE TO 10K!!! im so proud of u truly. ur heart and vibes make me so happy. like i literally never comment on youtube but i feel so safe here

I would of done the arora in strips so then you have the beauty of the acrylic aswell as the arora xx

Hmm if the brush is drying up fast might still be some product on it, usually it's best to give it a quick soak in polish remover than a good wipe. 💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤

I can see the pink and blue difference and sooooo gorgeous 😍

Sooo cute! So happy you did a set that you are so proud of too! Good luck with your finals!

This just popped up on my feed, and im so glad 😊 your personality is adorable 💗 This set is absolutely adorable 😍 Cant wait for next video 🥰🤗💞💥🩵🩷

Yay! New video! Never tried acrylic nails so this will be helpful for when I do try it. I want to make glitter acrylics like you showed before!

They turned out so pretty as usual and the heart looks amazing congrats to your brother and enjoy

These are stunning! Took me a day and half to watch (babies always demand attention which is rare she wants her mom over her dad haha) and I do love the chain gem heart, good call on the changing them. I do also agree that just as is is very pretty on its own but haha it’s always the cherry on top when you add the charms or gems, etc on them. It’s like you’re adding a bit of you or that’s my thought there haha

Ooh I’m loving this nail set! It turned out super cute!!! ❤ Girl you have come so far with your acrylic application! It’s looking so good!! I have the #8 size Pana brush from Amazon as well as several other much cheaper ones in various sizes and different brands. The Pana brush is my absolute favorite though. I think there is a noticeable difference in not just the quality of the bristles but the ease of application as well. That being said, I do have some average priced Modelones acrylic brushes that work well too. It can be just a matter of personal preference too and what works best for you. 😊❤

yes new brushes come with packing powder basically it helps keep the brush bristles protected so you need to break it loose and clean it out before using 😁

Hi girly! I literally started my own diy nail journey like 2-3 weeks ago and your vids have been so informative and now such a comfort to me ❤ I just did my second gel x set but first with a bunch of new charms and I’m livvvving~ thank you for your awesome content I love your videos and nail designs so much (haha even if you want to take them off😂) I totally get that tho sometimes it just ain’t the vibe~

I friken LOVE how these turned out. Obsessed with them both with and without the gems and chains. 🤩🤩🤩

Mixing pink blue and purple together are my favorite! They just make such a pretty ombré. I’ve been wanting to use these Aurora foils for over a year but I can’t get them on the nail nicely. I’ve got the same set as you amd a few other brands. Just did my first Japanese gel order and ordered the Bonnie B foils (all of them) 😂 can’t use acrylic but I will figure it out one day 😅 love this set 🫶🫶

Awesome job on your set "Anne" thanks for sharing and showing luv much love always 💅💕💕💕

Hey cutiiiiie! Great video idea, I’m excited to watch! As usual, I’m laying in bed and I’ll probably fall asleep and come back tomorrow. Hahah. You’re the best! ❤

Beautiful, and yes, that heart is perfect! Congratulations to your brother on graduating!

I love what you did with the chain & crystals. Fantastic. I’m looking for ideas to use up some of my nail charms. So many! ❤️🇦🇺

Sending a huge congratulations to your brother for their graduation!! ❤

Hi anne! These came out amazing! I love them so so much. ❤❤ love you!! 🫶

I really like this set!❤ VERY NICE🎉

Whenever I get a notification that Anne's doing an acrylic nail video it makes my whole dayyyy literally watch them on repeat ! Love these so much seriously

Loved the video ❤ Was thinking you should try 1 finger for lazy, 1 for tip, 1 for full cover and one you build with forms and see how easy/hard it is to get them all looking the same / compare how they all look when side by side Looking forward to some more of your super cute vlogs too ❤❤❤

nail tech here. I wouldn't recommend oiling or touching your brushes with bare hands after use. the monomer should be enough to condition them

These are gorgeous girl! 💎🩷🩵So my aesthetic and something I’d wear all day! I’d have stuck with some cuticle bling but I’m boring! lol Also, try getting fresh monomer when you go to clear cap. The monomer gets dirty as you’re using it and it affects the clear-just a tip! 😁😁

Bonjour, J'aime beaucoup cette pose. Les couleurs, les paillettes et les décos, l'ensemble est très réussi. Je n'ai pas encore oser essayer la poudre acrylique, mais tu m'as vraiment donné envie de tenter l'expérience. MERCI pour ce tuto super intéressant, comme toujours. A très vite. 👏💚🥰😍💅😘

If you want clear acrylic that doesn't cost an arm or leg, you can try mia secret and young nails clear. Both beautifully clear when used with a good monomer. You can also get kiara sky or not polish but those brands are more expensive. Also, a tip for ungunking brushes is too add A BIT of acetone to your leftover monomer. You technically aren't supposed to reuse it but monomer mixed with acetone will clean tour brushes without destroying them.

I appreciate ya! I start school Thursday and I’m super excited! lol I did find it funny sitting in the Paul Mitchell school and comparing the starter kit to things I already have… lmfao. Like I have better equipment than most of my starter kit will have! Lmfao but I’m super excited either way lmfao I just got my Kiara Sky order and I picked up a fancy brush lol

I was able to clean all the acrylic out of my cheap brushes using Dawn dishwashing liquid and warm water rubbing it or combing through with my fingers and then I rinsed it thoroughly and it’s fine. But I do plan to invest in a good brush because I’m very new to learning how to do acrylic nails myself.

Part of the fluid retention with the brushes could be explained by the different sizing. Not all brands size them the same.

I'm finally able to watch this!!! I had to watch on my bfs phone earlier bc I had no internet lol and I made him subscribe!!! ❤ I love youuu

Yesterday I used acrylic for the first time ever. But just to apply large charms on my nails, because the uv glue won’t cure under them. It’s so different to gel because it dries on its own. It kind of freaked me out that I had to hurry up and couldn’t just take my time with it 😔 But It’s kind of fun. Also you know when I asked on your other video for full cover long almond nail tips? I actually just shaped my stiletto tips into long almonds which worked really well 💗🙂‍↕️ And omg I also said on one of your videos that I was sad I couldn’t find the pre build apex tips in my country. I actually found some on Amazon and ordered them! I am so excited!! The brand is called Novo-Ovo.

So, here's what I will say about brushes in general, which I learned in art classes and saw in practice as a makeup artist. Generally, a more expensive brush means better materials and binding - denser fibers, better quality glue so that it won't come apart as easily. Some brush makers will do a "crimp" at the base of the fiber bundle before they are set with the glue, which makes it super strong, but is an expensive process that adds to the cost of the brush. Visually, there's no easy way to see how the fibers are set so cheaper brushes may work well for a while, but fall apart faster, where the more expensive brush will last longer. This becomes crucial when you are using them every day, all day - if I have to replace a brush once a month or more, or pay more for one that I only replace once a year, it's obvious what I'm gonna choose. Of course, this isn't always the case - sometimes expensive brushes are just crap. :D I would say for nail art, it would matter more to a tech working on the public, as it did for me when I was a makeup artist. No way would I risk cleaning a brush and having fibers come off in front of a client, or not being able to use alcohol to sanitize brushes due to weak glue. For myself, though, I rock an e.l.f brush and I don't care... fibers come out, whatevah... the whole brush tip comes off, there's always gorilla glue. haha Edit: I wanted to say these nails came out super cute! The chain hearts are adorable! Also, did you get the small ring with the heart charm recently? I have some earrings like that!

Love love love this set ..... try youngnails clear acrylic ❤

How are you? Happy Saturday a super cute nail set!

i have some cheaper brushes for doing my acrylic swatches but i do find they dont hold as much liquid and dry out or gunk up quicker, I tried a brush from naoi nails in the UK and boy did i notice the difference the acrylic went on like butter!

Thanks for the video!❤ You should try cutting off a wax strips as lint free wipes, its really lint free and cheaper! Also how do you take those nails off? By filing or soaking?

The cheaper brushes are always smaller than what they're suppose to be

This set is sooooooooo dang cute I love them so much. I bought so much stuff to do aurora nails and still haven’t used it. Think today will be the day. You’ve inspired me to do aurora nails on one hand and a pride set on the other. I love anything rainbow and especially pastel rainbow.

It's funny the Pana clear handle I recently got is not my fav. But it's not crimped like i prefer, but it's also shorter than any other brush I have so it's quite odd. But I have def gotten some of my fav brushes alot cheaper and some I like alot less I spent even more on. Price isn't the only factor sadly hahaah. I wish it was that easy. But you can easily soak your brush if it gets gunked up (if it's 100% kolinsky atleast) and just remoisturize with monomor and reshape and good as new.

I have a few 10$ acrylic brushes that are great

Also if your brushes are getting acrylic stuck try the blue shop rags to wipe your brush on after instead of the bibs

Thank you love! 💖

Soak your brushes with monomer instead of acetone. It will loosen the harden acrylic up. Hope's that helps. Just got out of school for nail technician.

I don't like foil, usually. But these are gorgeous.

i thought to clean bristles is to use monomer

They're soooooo prettyyy 😍💖💙💫

Crystal Clear Acrylic by ANACRYLICS trust me you won’t look back on finding the perfect clear acrylic she even demos it a lot on her yt channel so you can see before you buy rn it’s $17 so i say get it

I love those tips where did you get them 😍

hiiii, i'm a silent subscriber (been subscribed since you were at 3-4k) and i'm breaking my silence to ask you something. how did you become comfortable with working with acrylic? i personally had a really bad experience with doing acrylic (when i was 14 i tried to do it without knowing how to and i accidentally ripped half my nail off trying to get it off😅) and ever since i've just been so scared to use it again.

Gorgeous set....

I’m not done watching vid and I’m multitasking so might have missed it but where do you get the waterproof liner for your desk?

super cute

Not fair lol the 30 brush is bigger and of course going to hold more liquid 😢

No, don’t get too many sponsors. That is really when you’re gonna feel the pressure to do what you have to and not what you want to 🇦🇺❤️

Yaaaaaaaay❤❤❤

love these, x

Gorgeous 😍😍😍😍

Mmmmm. Niceeeeeeee 🙌🏾

Disregard my other comments idk why i didn't look in the description before asking where you got products 😂
